H F 4. SITE DESCRIETLC,14 Accessability to the site is fran Austin Road which intersects both French Can -p Road, 3 miles south of the site, and Mariposa Road, 2� miles north of the site. State Highway 99, which connects Manteca with Stockton, is located 2 miles west of the site. Interchanges on State Highway 99 at French Camp Road and Mariposa Road provide convenient freeway access. The 110 acre landfill is divided by the County -maintained Littlejohn Creek. Access to the landfill area north of the creek will be by easement for ingress -egress along the extended north property line of the site out ' to Austin Road. Access to the landfill area south of the creek will be directly off Austin Road at the southeast corner of the landfill area. B - Topography The terrain at the site and in the surrounding vicinity consist of a relatively featureless plain, which slopes gently downward to the southwest at a rate of approximately 6 feet per mile. These features are altered by the Forward Inc. landfill operations to the east, Littlejohn Creek traversint the site, and the City of Stockton landfill to the north and northwest. Elevations on the Stockton landfill have been raised approximately fifteen to twenty feet above original grade by the cut and cover landfill operation. The Littlejohn Creek traverses both the Forward Inc. property and proposed County landfill property in a southwesterly direction separating the site into two distinct areas, one north of the creek containing approximately two-thirds of the site and one south of the creek containing the other one- third of the site. The Forward Inc. landfill operations extend fran Austin Road easterly approxiamtely 850 feet and is confined north of the creek. A resource recovery and transfer station operation exists south of the creek. The topography of the Forward operation is characterized by landfill along Austin Road cresting to forty feet above the natural ground surface. Several disposal trenches and ponds have been constructed just west of the landfill for the Class 1 operations. The general locations of these -topographic features appear in the plates for this report. C. Land Use Acreage in the vicinity of the site is zoned GA -40 (40 acre agricultural preserve land) and is used primarily for cultivated row crop land. The Forward Inc. operations and City of Stockton Class 2-2 landfill operations are designated as solid waste disposal sites in the County General Plan. The Northern California You Authority Center, located lh miles due north of the site and the Stockton metropolitan Airport (end of runway) are the only land uses other than agriculture in the vicinity of the site.
